Product details

The Siemens SENTRON 3VA2440-5HL32-0AA0 is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 400 A continuous current at up to 70 °C ambient — no derating needed across the full 40–70 °C range, which simplifies panel thermal budgeting. At 240 V it interrupts 187 kA; at 415 V and 440 V it holds 121 kA, dropping to 75.6 kA at 500 V and 9 kA at 690 V.

The 3-pole footprint matches the existing 3VA family cutout; if you're swapping an older 3VA2116 frame, verify the lug kit and accessory compatibility (the ETU320 shares the same communication and auxiliary-contact platform).

What the ETU320 trip unit gives you

The ETU320 is an electronic overcurrent release — no thermal bimetal, so trip curves stay consistent across ambient shifts. It's designed for line protection (cable and busbar), not motor or generator protection. There's no ground-fault monitoring version on this variant, no undervoltage release, and no communication function. If you need those, the 3VA family has sibling order codes with those options; this one is a straight feeder breaker with adjustable LS (long-time and short-time) pickup and delay settings via the trip unit dials.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3VA2440-5HL32-0AA0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time on your quantity.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3VA2440-5HL32-0AA0?

The closest sibling in the same SENTRON 3VA family is the 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0, but that's a lower-current frame (160 A vs. 400 A). It shares the same ETU320 trip platform and 3-pole form factor, so the accessory ecosystem (auxiliary contacts, shunt trips, communication modules) is identical. For a 400 A feeder, the 3VA2440 is the correct frame; the 3VA2116 won't carry the load.

Will 3VA2440-5HL32-0AA0 drop into a panel specified around 3VA2116-5HL32-0AK0 without rewiring?

No — the 3VA2440 frame is physically larger (248 x 138 x 110 mm vs. the 3VA2116's smaller dimensions) and rated for 400 A vs. 160 A. The mounting hole pattern and busbar spacing differ. You'd need to rework the panel cutout and bus connections.

What compliance documentation does this breaker carry?

As a Siemens SENTRON product, it carries IEC 60947-2 certification for molded case circuit breakers. RoHS and REACH compliance documentation is available from Siemens. The 800 V rated insulation voltage and the SCCR ratings at multiple voltage levels (187 kA at 240 V, 121 kA at 415 V, 9 kA at 690 V) are verified per IEC 60947-2 test conditions.
